PASTEL PAINTINGS

 MATTING THESE PAINTINGS HAS  BEEN FUN AS  WELL AS CHALLENGING.  I found that the activity of matting paintings made  me ...really forced  me  to look at what  was it I tried  to capture  or  what was  my focus. Severall of my intructors used  different  words but it  came  down to what  caught  your  eye in the  first place?

 FRIENDS  and picking blueberries make a nice day. I turned some of the photos into paintings. I do not have them downloaded to this computer yet.

This painting in oil, was from photo taken in Italy. I loved the way these homes  were decorated by flowers .

Painting on location in Florida. the plein aire painters of OCALA . This  done at Stumpknockers using acrylics.

HELLO
 THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE  FOLLOWED MY BLOG. I BOUGHT A NEW LAP TOP
BECAUSE MY OLD COMPUTER BOUGHT IN 2002 COULD NOT LOAD MY PICTURES IN A TIMELY FASHION.

Many new paintings are going to appear in the next days . I have  been drawing and painting in my usual profuse manner. However, the paintings will be smaller than my usual wall sized murals. I jest but  not that  much.

The above drawing is  from my ipad and  appears  on a T shirt I had produced. One of  my friends TOLD ME

 that  she  jokingly said this  to the  cashier at  grocery store one  early morn as she  went through check out...she  had  purchased wine and  cookies for  her  card  group who  would be her  company later that  night. Wise  people go to the  grocery store early before it  turns  into a zoo of  people.
I have  been  drawing a number of things  on my ipad and  even teaching a class in how  to do this using a program called ipastel.
Here are  a  few paintings and  drawings. Some of  these were  done on a trip ,from car, in a doctors office.

PASSWORD WOES

CANNOT  SEEM TO GET THE  HANDLE  ON PASSWORDS  AND  USED NAMES.

I HAVE   BEEN PAINING  ALOT.. BUT  NOT  POSTING THE  PAINTINGS  BECAUSE  THIS  COMPUTER  HAS  SEEN IT  BETTER  DAYS.
HOPE  I CAN  GET  IT  CLEANED AND  OR  A  NEW ONE.

I HAVE  BEEN PAINTING  ON LOCATION IN NORTH CAROLINE WHERE  THE  WEATHER  IS  KINDER  TO THESE  OLD  BONES.

AND  THESE  PORCHES  FROM AMELIA  ISLAND.

I PAINTED  THIS  ONE FROM A  PORCH IN NORTH CAROLINA  LOOKING  OUT  AT THE  MOUNTAINS  WITH THE  FOG HIDING  BITS AND  PIECES .

THIS  IS  ACTUALLY  WHAT  I PAINTED  ON MY IPAD AS  I FLEW  TO LOUISIANA.

 I CAN SEE FROM MY FILES  , THERE  ARE  SEVERAL  PAINTINGS  I HAVE  NOT  TAKEN PICTURES  OF.

STAY  TUNED

confused carole

IT  SEEMS THAT  THIS  IS  MY OLD BLOG SITE TO UPLOAD PICTURES  ONTO.

..  I WANTED  TO SHOW A  PAINTING I AM PROUD OF. HERE  GOES .. LETS  SEE IF THIS WORKS...OK IT  WORKED EVER  SO SLOWLY. I CALL IT  PAM'S BIRDMAN.
I TRIED IT  IN PASTEL  FIRST. BUT  MY RENDERING  WAS  OFF. DRAWING  OVER AND  OVER..HELPS ME "GET IT  RIGHT"

I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW THIS PASTEL , FIRST  BEGAN IN COLORADO USING  WATERCOLOR. I REALLY MESSED UP THE  TREES.. IN THAT  I MUDDIED THE  GREEN COLOR. I WANTED  TO  COMPLETE THIS  FOR  MYSELF. IT  WAS A  GREAT DAY AT A  SPOT  I LOVE TO GO TO. I WAS  DISAPPOINTED IN MY WRECKING JOB BUT  KEPT THE  PAINTING FOR  ABOUT  THREE YEARS.....NEVER  GIVE  UP.

THIS  SUNLIT "BEGINNING"  WAS  STARTED  IN WATERCOLOR  ON KITTY WALLIS  SAND PAPER AND  THEN FINISHED  IN PASTEL.

I SEEM TO HAVE  LOST THE  FINISHED  VERSION PICTURE . I WILL TAKE  THE  PICTURE AND  GET  BACK LATER.

If I could get this to work,I would be ever so more inclined to blog as I work.
